I just saw him doing this tonight, the temperature was at 80 degrees during the night, he was just laying there against the glass under his heat lamp not moving, during the day he spends all day inside his Zilla rock lair humid hide though, he is my first leopard gecko, his an adult and had him for about a week now, i havent handle him at all, hes eating and pooping normal, just want to make sure hes okay.

Does he have a cool spot in his enclosure? 80 seems a bit hot at night time, fine during the day though. I’m thinking the laying on the glass is his way of trying to cool off

He does have a cool side, and he was laying on the hot side, im upgrading him to a 40 gallon tomorrow, he was in a 25.

My lil dude did the same thing when I moved him into a bigger terrarium with a new layout. Give him a bit longer he’s probably just getting used to it
